Maximizing Assets and Minimizing Taxes
Two of our clients' greatest considerations when planning the transfer of a business is maximizing asset protection and minimizing tax consequences. At our firm, we understand and appreciate these concerns. We have a comprehensive understanding of business law, tax law and estate planning that comes from experience. Our lawyers have helped numerous clients across Pennsylvania, and New Jersey for more than 25 years.
In our experience, we have found one of the best ways to retain assets is to include trusts in business succession planning. Another angle our lawyers always consider when looking to retain assets is the underlying structure of the business.
For families with substantial business assets, one structural option is a family limited partnership (FLP). In an FLP, the family assets are pooled into a single partnership and family members are issued shares. This process allows for significant tax savings over the course of time since shares can be transferred/gifted to future generations at discounted values.
If you desire to keep a business in the family or plan to transfer your business to another individual or company, planning ahead will create a simpler exit strategy and a greater likelihood of uninterrupted prosperity.
